An old mechanics trick that may be helpful here is to rig a 12v light bulb with some short leads and use it to bypass the fuse.
If the bulb lights brightly you have a short... then start disconnecting things on the circuit... when the bulb goes out or dims significantly, you've found your short.
Hope this helps.
